Revned Said: Here's something to get you thinking: what if you were born with a brain defect such that all your vision was inverted? Black would be white, orange would be blue, etc. Would you be able to tell? Would anyone be able to tell?
I think not. Unlike colorblindness, you would not lose any of the original image. It would look normal to you, having never seen what things should really look like. You would be completely unaware for your entire life. Imagine looking at the sun and being blinded by black light....
You said black is white. The sun is orangeish yellowish, so wouldn't you be blinded by blue light?
<_<
Anyway, i'm sure someone would discover that you have it early on in life because of simple questions like `what color do you want your room to be painted?`
You ask for Green and get Green, when in reality you wanted Purple.

Many subatomic particles behave randomly, and as such they are the butterfly's wings that cause a hurricane on the other side of the world.
I've wondered about the 'multi-verse' and if there's a copy for every decision to be made. But that seems a bit self-centered. When I was younger I had thoughts about the possibility that realty is just a figment of my imagination, that everything that happens as my subconscience mind creates.
I've got another thread of thought to throw out here later on.

Now I don't think that's how the multiverse would work, but this is just my take on it.
The multiverse is comprised of a universe and all its possibilities. What we perceive is just a particular thread of possibilities, in a sea of all other possible outcomes of universes.
It's about possibilties, which I don't think is the same as conscious decisions. While in other universes something may compell you (in universes where you do exist, that is) to make a different decision, it's because of what happens in that universe that influences your decision, not the other way around like you were implying, where a single choice suddenly spawns a whole 'nother universe.
Sure, there are universes with other conscious decisions made. Don't forget unconscious decisions, or things like quantum particles (supposedly placed differently in different universes) slicing through strands of DNA affecting the biology of a single organism or an entire race. Or smacking into certain particles at certain times causing chemical reactions, possibly major, like causing an explosion somewhere in certain universes but not in others.
While I do personally think that "thought" and self-awareness are related to consciousness and life itself, and not just a property of matter (how does matter become self-conscious? I can't imagine how), I do believe it is still too limited to our physical surroundings and therefore not capable of spawning universes. However, if you consider dreams, or that our existence is entirely dependent on our own perception of things, thought is capable of altering subjective reality, but not objective reality.
